Why Sports Podiatry in an Osteopathic clinic?
The introduction of Sports Podiatry as part of the services at the Sports & Spinal Group Beaumaris provides a holistic approach to the prevention, treatment and management of soft tissue and sports injuries in active and healthy people.
Our practitioners believe that communication and collaboration between health care practitioners is key in helping our clients of all ages get back to what they enjoy doing.
